I then realized that that four digit number is a code for the tire size. Can someone help me out with resetting the correct code?

I have a Club Car DS with standard 8" tires on the front.
The correct tire size (circumference) for standard 8 inch cart tires is 1440 mm. Here's a link to an owners manual for the Schwinn 12 function speedometer that's most commonly installed on carts here in The Villages.

The first page explains how to setup the tire size again after changing the battery. You can skip the part about how to calculate the correct tire size, just use 1440.
